Automatic Speech Recognition in the Teaching of Second Languages: An Annotated Bibliography.

Pulliam, Robert

This bibliography, containing 73 annotated entries, is designed as an aid to researchers who may wish to experiment using automatic speech recognition in programed instruction, computer assisted instruction, or task simulation devices. The bibliography samples recent literature on the technology of automatic speech recognition, on efforts to employ it at elementary technical levels, and on devices which evaluate speech as visual displays. Collateral material is added, from several disciplines, which may be useful to experimenters in formulating further research. A special focus is the teaching of second languages. A brief introduction deals with the development of automatic speech recognition and its use in teaching machines. (Author/FWB)
